Port Antonio Attractions

The main attractions of Port Antonio are the beautiful beaches
formed in the coves and inlets of the region's mountainous and lush
terrain. Parts of the coast are picture-perfect, with jungle right
down to the water's edge, and waterfalls flowing off cliffs into
the ocean. Favourites include San San Beach, Frenchman's Cove,
Boston Bay and Winnifred Beach. Some are secluded and unspoilt,
while others offer watersports, food stalls and all sorts of
facilities. Visitors should be aware that many beaches in Port
Antonio charge entrance fees.

Port Antonio's natural assets extend far beyond the lovely
coastline: the Blue Lagoon, made famous by the movie of the same
name, is a special place to go boating and swimming; excursions to
the Reach Falls, arguably one of the most beautiful scenic spots in
Jamaica, are very popular; the Somerset Falls, best reached by
gondola, have water a remarkable milky turquoise colour; and the
Rio Grande River, flowing through the lovely Portland area, is the
best place to take a journey on a traditional bamboo raft. The
Folly Great House, rumoured to be haunted and slowly being
reclaimed by the Jamaican landscape, is a spooky and atmospheric
ruin which visitors to Port Antonio enjoy exploring.
